Winhanced v0.9.2.1 Patch Notes

Release Date: January 2026

✨ New Features

AutoPilot: Smart-Profiles (Experimental)

A new feature is being added to the AutoPilot Suite for supported titles. Games featuring the new "SP" badge now support Smart Profiles.

• Global Toggle: Set your preference globally in the "Performance Settings" page.

• Available Modes:

  • Auto (Recommended): Intelligently balances performance and quality based on hardware and power state.

  • Performance: Prioritizes frame rate and responsiveness over visual quality.

  • Quality: Prioritizes visual fidelity for a cinematic experience.

• Note: This feature is experimental. Future updates will include per-game settings and the ability to re-run setup.

Quick Resume

Run multiple games simultaneously with intelligent suspension and instant switching.

• Multi-Game Support: Run and suspend multiple titles at once.

• Smart RAM Management: Automatically manages memory during suspension to ensure system stability.

• Instant Switching: Jump back into suspended games exactly where you left off.

• System Notifications: Real-time alerts when games are successfully suspended or resumed.

The Status Pill

Replacing the legacy power and minimize icons, the Status Pill is a dynamic hub for system control:

• Active Sessions: View and switch between running and suspended games at a glance.

• Universal Search: Search across all imported libraries (Steam, Xbox, Epic, etc.).

• System Controls: Quick access to Power (Sleep, Hibernate, Restart, Shutdown) and Desktop Mode.

• Connectivity: Manage Bluetooth devices and WiFi networks directly.

• Audio & Power: Per-app Volume Mixer and an advanced Battery Monitor with usage graphs and impact tracking.

External Game Detection

Winhanced now maintains session tracking and Quick Resume functionality even if games are launched via Steam, Xbox, or Epic directly, provided Winhanced is running in the background.

Steam QR Code Sign-In

• Streamlined Auth: Sign in by scanning a QR code with the Steam mobile app.

• Auto-Refresh: Tokens now refresh automatically, matching the behavior of Xbox and Epic integrations.

• Legacy API key support remains available for those who prefer it or as a backup if people run into issues.

Improved Library Loading

• Staggered Import: Games now appear one-by-one as they are detected for a smoother experience.

• Filter-Awareness: While importing, only games relevant to your active filter (e.g., Steam) will populate.

• State Persistence: Library position and state are now preserved when navigating away and back.
